How to Get Originally Known As Badge on Discord

Discord is a popular platform for gamers and communities to chat and collaborate online. It allows users to have a unique username and profile picture, much like any other social media platform. Recently, Discord introduced a new badge known as the "Originally Known As" badge, which allows users to showcase their previous usernames on the platform. In this blog, we'll guide you on how to get the "Originally Known As" badge on Discord.

The first step to getting the "Originally Known As" badge on Discord is to update your username. It's important to note that this badge is only available to users who have changed their usernames at least once before. If you've never changed your username on Discord, you won't be eligible for the badge.

To update your Discord username on the desktop app, follow these simple steps:

If you're using the mobile app, here's how you can update your Discord username:

Once you've updated your username, you'll receive a notification from Discord asking you to verify the change. Click on the notification and follow the instructions to confirm your new username. If you haven't received the notification yet, don't worry – Discord is rolling out the badge feature gradually to users who have changed their usernames before. Priority is given to old Discord and Nitro users, so it may take a while for everyone to receive the feature.

Once you've updated your username, the "Originally Known As" badge will automatically appear on your profile. If you don't see the badge, make sure you've updated your username and received the notification to verify the change.

To enable or disable the badge on your profile, follow these steps:

The "Originally Known As" badge will appear on your profile next to your current username, and it will show your previous usernames when clicked on. You can also find the badge on your profile when viewing your mutual servers and in the member list of any server you're in.
